Steps for generating accurate quantity coefficients

• Set up the screen Verify the currently selected monitoring

point and time span.

• Populate the confirmation table Populate the Quantity

Coefficient Generator table with confirmation data by
manually entering field confirmations. Database confirmations
may originate from QuadraScan data imported using the QS5
Importer or Profile data imported using the Data Transfer
Utility.

• Review the confirmations Compare the field

confirmations to actual flow data using scattergraphs and
hydrographs.

• Generate average coefficients An Average HC value is

generated and displayed as field confirmations are entered to
the Quantity Coefficient Generator table. Use the Quantity
Coefficient Generator to generate the roughness or slope
coefficients when at least one of the two coefficients is known.

• Generate bestfit coefficients When the average

coefficient values for HC, roughness, or slope do not accurately
reflect the true coefficients for the monitoring point, generate a
bestfit coefficient which minimizes the mathematical error
through the span of the coefficients.

• Store the quantity coefficients After generating and

reviewing average or bestfit coefficients, save the new
coefficients to the database.
